Abstract excerpt
The drug discrimination paradigm was used to evaluate the effects of selective breeding for differential sensitivity to the hypnotic effects of ethanol. Tenth generation high alcohol sensitive (HAS) and low alcohol sensitive (LAS) rats were trained to discriminate between ethanol (0.6 g/kg, IP) and saline vehicle on a VR-5 schedule of reinforcement. The animals were tested with 0.15, 0.3, and 0.9 g/kg ethanol...
